Chapter 1014 - Simulation (1/2)

After reaching the canyon, the three mages from Sky City started examining the place under Raphael’s lead and looked for the array’s location.

They saw a Horned Demon when they arrived. Dedale took charge of the group and rapidly killed the Horned Demon.

The mana fluctuations destroyed a large part of the canyon, but they had yet to see any trace of the array. They could only see some remains of alchemy puppets on the ground, and these remains were covered in rust, almost decayed. It was as if they had been scrapped for a long time and could no longer be used as components.

Apart from these, they couldn’t find any clues. There was not a single clue relating to the array. There were mountains of various sizes.

Raphael was somewhat twitchy as they came up empty-handed. This was the place where a Greater Demon Overlord was suppressed, yet they couldn’t find the array. Moreover, they couldn’t casually damage the surroundings too much. They might end up unknowingly damaging the array if they casually dug around.

They would be in huge trouble if just a bit of the array was damaged. No one dared to move without being sure of the array’s location.

Ultimately, they couldn’t find any clues. Raphael carefully dug around a place that he believed might possibly have some traces of an array.

But they didn’t find any traces after digging ten meters into the earth. There were only rusted remains of puppets.

Lin Yun looked at those remains and felt that they were a bit familiar. The style of the design and some smaller details were somewhat familiar, but these remains were in such poor condition that they were basically no different from a pile of dirt. A small bit of force would be enough to crush them to pieces.

Raphael had a foolish expression after boldly digging so far down without discovering anything. He wasn’t even sure that an array existed here.

“Sir Mafa Merlin, there is no trace of an array here… Is this really the place where the Greater Demon Overlord is sealed?”

Lin Yun hovered in the air, sizing up the entire canyon, as well as the mountains surrounding the area.

Endless runes roamed within Lin Yun’s eyes and slowly gathered to take the shape of this mountain range. After being halfway formed, those runes suddenly collapsed.

Lin Yun’s body faintly shook. His mana was somewhat chaotic, but Lin Yun grinned.

He had just used the runes to reference this mountain range, and although he only managed to do half before it collapsed, it was already enough for Lin Yun to figure out that this was a huge array. The entire canyon was the center of the huge array, while the surrounding mountain range was part of it.

This is a Heaven Grade Array. Only a Heaven Grade Array would have collapsed as he tried to simulate it. The simulation would have shown everything just fine for an ordinary mountain range, even if he was also simulating the vegetation.

“This canyon and the mountain range surrounding it form a huge array!” Lin Yun shared the outcome of his examination with Raphael.

Raphael was greatly alarmed, and he promptly flew up to examine it.

Meanwhile, Dylas sneered.

“Mafa Merlin, you have lost your mind. Those Blood Fang Beastmen clearly concealed the truth and didn’t tell us many things. What Great Overlord? What array? These are just their lies, yet you believed them?

“You think the entire mountain range is a huge array? You dare to say that? Don’t you have a bit of common sense? How could these ordinary mountains form an array? Let alone one that can suppress a Greater Demon Overlord?

“Hurry up and f*ck off, don’t shame yourself. It’s fine if you don’t understand, but making irresponsible remarks makes you look stupid. You have just been tricked by the Blood Fang Beastmen, that’s all. You’re only making yourself look stupid by saying this kind of thing…”

Dylas willfully lashed out at Lin Yun, while the others were similarly skeptical. It was because the Sky City’s alchemists, who were known to be proficient in arrays, had been searching for a while without finding a single trace of the array. Lin Yun finding the array so easily definitely felt wrong to them.

Raphael was frowning and carefully observing the surroundings from the sky, but he couldn’t find the outline. He only faintly felt that there was something strange with this mountain range and the canyon at its center.

Lin Yun glanced at Dylas, and the runes within his eyes rapidly moved. He couldn’t simulate the entire array, but forming a part was relatively easy.

After a few seconds, a part of the array framework near Dylas was delineated by Lin Yun, and he opened his mouth and sent a rune towards the ground.

In everyone’s eyes, there was just a common section of the ground there, but to Lin Yun, there was a node and an array’s patterns.

Dylas was actually standing on top of the patterns. No one was able to sense Lin Yun’s rune as it fell onto the ground. The energy transmitted by the array patterns were slightly blocked, and in an instant, accumulated energy spouted out of the array pattern.

Everyone suddenly sensed demonic power surging from below. Black smoke surged out from the ground, and there was enough of it to cover Dylas. Two Level 35 Horned Demons suddenly appeared beside Dylas.

The sudden reaction startled everyone. The two Horned Demons had sinister expressions as they simultaneously attacked the closest person, Dylas.

Dylas was very shocked, but he still promptly roused the Dark Night Cloak. Shadows frantically spread out, rising from the ground as they covered the two Horned Demons.
